HARRIMAN in his last message, says that the people of New Hampshire probably consume about a barrel of flour a year, each, at a cost of $6,000,000. He believes that wheat enough can be raised in the State for the use of its people. Three acres of wheat to each farm would be 90,000 acres, and a yield of fifteen bushels per acre would give 1,350,000 bushels, enough to make 300,000 barrels of flour, or nearly one to each person. |
